The Cuddles Fund is named after the little white puppy who brought a community together. Her abusive owner beat her, threw her into the trunk of his car, drove to the shelter and then threw her over the 6-foot fence, breaking her pelvis. There was a great outpouring of support for Cuddles, making her life-saving surgery and full recovery possible. Cuddles passed away in 2013 but her legacy lives on through the OAHS Cuddles Fund and the animals her fund has healed.
The Cuddles Fund covers healthcare costs associated with urgent care and specialty medical cases. Over the years many abused, neglected and/or suffering pets have been saved because of continued gifts to the Cuddles Fund.
This fund serves as a testimony of the power of compassion and generosity and a tribute to the little dog who touched so many hearts. To ensure Cuddles’ legacy carries on, please consider giving a donation gift to the Cuddles Fund.
The Silver Paws Fund ensures senior animals receive the extra medical care they need so they can start a new chapter of their lives while giving peace of mind to the people who love them. There are many reasons why senior animals are brought to the shelter. Sometimes, if an owner is elderly or ill, life changes can affect their ability to care for their pet any longer.
The average amount spent on a senior animal (dogs 8 years and over and cats 10 years and over) is $381. OAHS provides needed medical care for seniors with conditions such as Hyper- and Hypothyroidism, dental issues requiring cleaning and/or extractions, arthritis, and other undiagnosed issues that may be found. Your donation to Silver Paws will give senior pets get a healthy, new start. Please consider making your gift to Silver Paws today.
